Technical Assistance in Public Debt Projections and Analysis: Islamic Republic of Mauritania

This document summarizes the completion and main outcomes of a Technical Assistance project aimed at strengthening the capacity of Mauritania’s National Committee on Public Debt (CNDP) in public debt projection and analysis. At the request of the Mauritanian authorities, the IMF’s Institute for Capacity Development (ICD) implemented a multi-mission program between January 2024 and January 2025, combining in-country missions with sustained remote engagement. The project focused on implementing and customizing the IMF’s Public Debt Dynamics Tool (DDT), including a resource-rich country version and a natural disaster module. Through hands-on training, the CNDP strengthened its ability to produce debt projections, conduct scenario analysis, and prepare a comprehensive public debt report.
